Introduction:
The cardiovascular system is also known as the circulatory system is a system which allows blood to flow throughout the body and transports nutrients, gases and other important enzymes in and out of the cells. It is composed of two components: Heart and the blood vessels.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The condition in which bacteria grow and flourish in the bloodstream is referred to as septicemia. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Option (c) is given as “septicemia”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reason for the correct statement:
Sepsis is also known as septicemia is a cardiovascular condition caused by many bacteria and few
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “viremia”.
It is the presence of virus in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as “bacteremia”.
It referrers to the appearance of bacteria in the blood which does not correspond to their growth. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “fungemia”.
It is the presence of only fungi in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.
When bacteria grow and flourish in the bloodstream then this condition is referred to as septicemia.
